I don't know much about 12ft skiffs but it always seems like they're
fully powered up downwind and constantly heeling over. Wouldn't
it be quicker for them to depower just slightly and get the boat flat
and controlled??

Just trying to get over a headland Normally you sail them flat but a bit of heel makes it safer Another http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1693300108891417249 Edited by jimmywalsh |
